#1 "Against"? Like we shouldn't be caring what our best ally in the Middle East is up to? We should be so lucky. As it is, your Uncle Sam and I get so worried. Maybe if you'd tell us what you were up to once in a while we wouldn't have to check up on you. You manage to remember us when we're voting on foreign aid for you. Just call once in a while is all.

#2 What a joke ... what we should be doing is increasing spying on Syria, the PLO and Iran.

No I take that back ... we should turn damascus and tehran inti rubble and tell the PLO to move home to Jordan. This article was BS.

#5 It's Ok,
We understand that you understand that we know that you know that you are aware of the fact that we are aware of the fact that we both spy on each other :)

#6 Spy on everyone in the area - the intel informs policies that keep America safe. As long as Israel remembers who loves em, things are hunky-dory...of course, we need to talk about sales to China...

#7 OK Frank,
I swear I personally wont sell anything the China :)
I think this issue really needs being quickly and
efficiently solved to our countries' mutual benefit.

#9 It never ceases to amaze me that conservatives cling to the notion that Israel is an ally. If they are at all, it is of the strrictest convenience, nothing more.

#13 The sources said the move was ordered by the White House as part of an effort to prevent an escalation of the war with the Palestinians or a regional war that could begin with an Israeli attack on Syria

this makes no sense. The israelis are trying to keep things cool with Abbas, and Sharon has welcomed peace feelers from Syria. If Israel goes to war with Syria anytime soon, its likely to be primarily on the behest of the US (not that i think thats likely).

#14 It does in a way, if you factor in certain undesirables amongst the Palestinians, plus ceratin undesirables from a certain Syrian colony....
